## Summary

The Common Services Agency, also known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), is seeking to supply and deliver LIAT SARS-COV-2 multiplex assays. This procurement falls under the health sector and is located in Scotland. The procurement process is currently complete, having reached the Award stage. The tender was initiated on 18 December 2020, with the contract awarded for a total value of £1,373,081. This limited tender process was implemented due to the urgent need created by the Covid-19 pandemic, allowing for a direct award without prior competition.

This opportunity allows businesses specialising in medical supplies and diagnostics to engage with a significant public sector contract. Companies capable of manufacturing or supplying multiplex testing cartridges would be particularly well-suited to compete. Given the direct nature of the award, it highlights an increasing demand for suppliers who can meet critical health delivery requirements efficiently, making this a viable growth opportunity for suppliers in the health-related goods industry.
